Harry Potter and the Animagi Transformation
Chapter 5: The Resolution
"You see, Harry's blood offsets the Slytherin blood in Voldemort. Having a founder's blood increases your life even more than the wizard's life. Harry's blood has a lot of light in it. Harry, you have Merlin, Gryffindor, Ravenclaw, Hufflepuff, and Slytherin's blood in you. You received Slytherin's blood when Voldemort tried to kill you fifteen years ago in Godric's Hollow. But too much light always destroys darkness. Surprisingly enough, you have still retained some qualities that Salazar prized: Parseltounge- his own gift, stubbornness, and disregard for rules.
Voldemort fears you. He is afraid that when you defeated him, you took away his greatest power, the power to do dark magic. Instead, when he took your blood to resurrect himself", here all the Weasleys looked at him in horror and awe," the light in your blood started destroying the darkness in him. In a way, you have taken the thing that he always feared would be taken away from him, his life. As he is deteriorating away, his followers have noticed his weaknesses and have decided to overthrow him. This has mad it somewhat easier for us because the different factions are going to busy trying to gain the title of the new Dark Lord. But never underestimate the Dark Lord. Though he might be weak, he still has all the cruelness in him."
Dumbledore took a deep breath after the long explanation and conjured a glass of water to drink. He looked at Harry to see houw he had taken it.
Harry was looking gobsmacked. He looked blankly in front of him. Anxious to see some reaction, Professor Dumbledore looked at the emotion- showing pendant that Harry wore. It was black- no emotion. After a while it changed but still remained in the dark.
"I'd like some time to think it over, Professor. It's too much to take in at once." Harry looked haunted.
"Of course. Take all the time you need", Dumbledore said, reassured that everything would be fine.
Harry stood up, shakily, and walked out the door to a woody area that he had seen the previous day. He walked to a clearing where there was a peaceful, blue lake by some trees with comfortable, low branches. He sat down by the trees and threw rock, skipping them on the water.
He thought about the Triwizard Tournament. He saw Cho's face as she saw Cedric on a stretcher. Cedric… the boy haunted him still. Lying spread- eagled on the floor, his eyes surprised. Cho. Strange… whenever he had thought of her before, his stomach had given a pang. Now he didn't feel that anymore. He heard his parents before they died, he saw Cedric, and everybody elso who had died under Voldemort's wand.
A bitter taste rose in his mouth. His blood boiled with anger against Voldemort.
In that clearing, he took his wand and traced letters that he was saying out loud. He made a terrible vow.
"I don't care if you are old. You killed my parents and many others. I, Harry James Potter, will make you pay, Tom Marvolo Riddle. I swear on my parents grave that you will pay."
The letters, which had been green, flashed bright for a minute and then exploded, blinding Harry for a minute. Then the words became blood red. The message flashed once more, this time a deep red that was almost black and raced towards him. The next moment, he saw an image of a prowling, restless dragon on his arm that moved. When he examined it closer, he saw that the words that he had uttered out loud were imprinted on his arm in tiny, miniscule handwriting.
He came back to the Weasley's house with a purpose in his step. He was no longer haunted with the memory of the people who had died. Instead, thinking of them reminded Harry of his vow. His eyes were now like Dumbledore's. It held the look of a man who was as stubborn as a mule and who would never be deterred from the path that he took.
As Hagrid had said, he would meet everything when needed. And he would meet it with a proud face and a straight back.

People, this story is not over. Thank you to all the reviewers. I will have the next chapter up soon. You can now expect regular updates as my school has just ended.
I do not own any of these characters, unfortunately.
